If you've been around the MLM and network marketing industry for any length of time, you know that to really create long-term growth in your business you should always be recruiting MLM leaders into your network. Attracting retail sales and consumers is always great for the paycheck, but true growth comes from bringing in other growth-minded people who want to grow an MLM business. So how can you do that? Here are four ways to get your started.

1. Prospect People Who Are Already Leaders

This is based on the same principle as the saying, "If you want something done ask a busy person to do it." In other words, a busy person is already accustomed to getting things done so asking a busy person to do something means that it will probably get done. The same holds true for recruiting MLM business builders. Don't just recruit from your warm market or from among your friends. Instead, look for people who are clearly leaders, even if you don't know them very well. It could be your real estate agent, banker, or the president of the PTA. If the person demonstrates initiative and leadership, take the time to cultivate a relationship and find the time to present your opportunity to them. People who are already leaders are quite busy, so your percentage of signups among this crowd may be lower, but signing up even one of these people will take you far in generating long-term growth for your MLM business.

2. Let People Find You

While you always wanting to be recruiting MLM business builders into your network with active prospecting techniques, be sure that you aren't doing all the work by trying to convince people to join your business. Balance your prospecting efforts with marketing approaches that allow leaders you don't know to find you. For instance, if you do article marketing by submitting articles relevant to your business to directories, chances are you will attract people who are actively searching for information and help on MLM. Those who connect with your writing and take the time to contact you are the ones you want in your business because they have demonstrated their initiative and leadership skills.

3. Practice Lead Abundance

The only way to truly spot the leaders who might really take your MLM business far is to keep yourself from getting sandbagged by tire-kickers and time-wasters. And how do you do that? By practicing lead abundance. When you have plenty of leads and prospects to work with, you won't feel tempted to spend hours on the phone with people who are not serious about working their business. The people who are truly successful at recruiting MLM leaders are those are quick to sort through the pack and who only spend time with people that demonstrate active effort and show results.
